I think it is one of the reasons there are so many low scoring teams in the Prem

The 4-5-1 with inverted wingers tends to make the game quite narrow and crowded in the central areas, particularly around the edge of the penalty area, and there is very little space. Unless you get the ball forward very quickly like Man City, and unfortunately not many teams have players as good as theirs!
